Statically Assign DNS Server to Expedition

[sjanita]

(DO NOT EDIT resolv.conf)

If needed, the steps to statically configure a DNS server to the Expedition server will be to edit the dns-nameserver in the /etc/network/interfaces file. 

Editing resolv.conf is not reliable as any edits will be overwritten on reboot of the Expedition server.

expedition@Expedition:/etc/network$ sudo vi interfaces
